I can’t recall
The last time
I closed my eyes
left my worries behind
The lights flash
I hear the music play
My heart can’t wait
Till I dance the night away
The time is now yes I’m moving on
I feel the beat and it’s getting strong
This is our chance there’s no more time to wait
Now we can dance we’re going to celebrate
I feel my body and it wants to move
We can surrender down to this groove
This is our chance there’s no more time to wait
Now we can dance we’re going to celebrate
It’s been so hard for me and you
We’ve got some healing to do
But we will make it through
Just hear the music and take my hand
Forget work and plans
Let’s unwind and enjoy the band
Ooh but when we’re spinning round and around
I forget the all of the pain bringing me down
Let’s take our lives back from the underground
Now that we’re set free won’t you come and dance with me

Don’t know how long it’s been
Since things felt this right
Hustling day and night
So unsatisfied
suddenly I could see
I was my worst enemy
My own negativity
Getting the best of me
When I get home and time and take
my clothes off
And accept me as I am
The weight of the world falls off my shoulders
Coz now I understand
I need to show you love cause you’re my body
AndI know that nobody’s gonna love me
Til I can love myself
I get emotional
It’s not just physical
I got a private love affair
It’s taken me some time
To treat myself this kind
Now I don’t worry ‘bout nobody else
Now I respect and love myself
Time to do something that’s
Been long overdue
Tired of being criticised
Believing what’s untrue
I’m out here just existing
But it seems like everybody got some thoughts on this body
Not really sure who this body even truly belongs to sometimes
I really struggle with this body image thing want everything 6 to 16
What do the numbers mean when you’re somewhere in between
Pretty privilege and fat phobia
The world seems to hold these insecurities over you
And it's hard to fight the messages hidden in the images all around you
But then it hits you
You don’t have to believe it
shit aint as you perceive it
The love you give yourself you’ve gotta open to receive it
Your worth is innate, your being truly great
Your body is the vessel carries so much more than weight
Your uniqueness the sum of the queen you’ve become
And when I look back at how far I’ve come
I get emotional
It’s not just physical
I got a private love affair
It’s taken me some time
To treat myself this kind
Now I don’t worry ‘bout nobody else
Now I respect and love myself
Gotta love me, gotta love me
Coz I know myself and I know just what I deserve

Waking up, I still feel the way I did last night
Doubting everything I am, let the rain keep pouring in
The power’s out, can’t help but think I’ll ever find the light again
Face the storm all on my own, I’ve been here for too long
Maybe there’s more to life, than I’ve been living
Is there a way to find, what I’ve been missing all this time
Deep within my mind
I’m sinking, holding on for dear life
Waves rise, I’m challenging the tide
Still breathing, I’m not giving up this fight
Taking ground, now that I have found, my lifeline
Lost my way, keep wondering, don’t know what’s left or right
Yet I walk these empty streets, my own shadow
haunting me
I guess my will to live, became my savior
With all my fear and pain, I’ve gotten braver through it all
Now I’m standing tall
I’m sinking, holding on for dear life
Waves rise, I’m challenging the tide
Still breathing, I’m not giving up this fight
Taking ground, now that I have found, my lifeline
Now I know the strength in me is bringing me back to life
I know I have the will to fight
The tide may come and go but I’ll be holding on like an anchor in the storm

White wine in the afternoon
Red wine when we’re howlin’ at the moon
Champagne with my favorite few
Spare time just to try to write a tune
Come on over i’ll make some food
We can discuss all our reasons for gratitude
Everything i love to do is all tied up in what i give to you
That makes me happy, happy, happy inside
Perfectly happy happy happy, inspired
Debrief in the afterglow
Big plans choosing sunshine over snow
Riverside and i’m finally home
Warm days all together
Hide the phone
Makes me so happy happy happy
I’m alive
So very happy happy happy I realise
All this in front of me
Life’s been incredibly kind
Right where i wanna be
I’m gonna stop and read the signs
White wine in the afternoon
Life’s fine when i’m
All alone with you
It’s the little things that get you through
The simple pleasure of meaningless platitudes

Unspoken words in my mind
Moments we shared that we left far behind
I know some wounds never heal with time but
A way back to you I pray to find
I can see love
I can feel love
Slipping away
Listen now, I have something to say
I need your love
I want you home to stay
Stop right there!
Don’t turn and walk away
I’m begging you don’t leave this way
Can we try to let love survive?
Coz I’m not ready to say goodbye
A moment in time we had it all (couldn’t ask for anything more)
How did we rise so high to only fall?
Is our love worth fighting for? Or will your love just withdraw further away?
I won’t stop you if you have to leave
But I want to remind you that I (am the woman that you need)
And no one could love you the way I do
With honesty (honesty)
With integrity (integrity)
with loyalty (loyalty)
and I am begging you

Time to have that talk,
I can see it in your face again
Don’t need to complicate or
We’re just better off as friends
You know I love you so
You need to let it go
Gotta love me one way or not at all
I understand that this may be
A little hard for you to hear
Don't take it personal
I’ve been nothing but sincere
You know I love you so
You need to let it go
Gotta love me one way or not at all
Lover don’t lock me down
You know that I want you
I can’t give you all the things you want
Even though you make me feel good
I feel so misunderstood
Lover don’t lock me down
You know that I want you
Why you’re trying to make me into something that I’m not
You wanna say it’s best for us, but just for you
There's no reason for you to be insecure
There’s only you
Stop trying to drown me out with all your reasoning
Stop negotiating and start listening
Stop trying to make this into something that it’s not
My love is for you
I can’t stop running
I can’t stop running to you
I can’t stop running
Then I fall down down down
I can’t stop running (Can’t stop running away)
I can’t stop running to from you (Can’t stop running away)
I can’t stop running (Can’t stop running away)
Then I fall then we fall down down down (I Can’t stop running away)

Ain’t no use pretending everything is the same
Getting close to you is harder since it all changed (all changed)
Not that the world is ending, it's just a different game
Gotta play it smarter, let go of the old ways (old ways)
I took it for granted, thought it was understood
You never know what's coming up and it was so good (so good)
Ain't gotta feel for facetime and I don’t want to hear about zoom
I’m looking for some one on one time with you and me in a room
Just wanna night together
Even an afternoon
I just want to hold you
Feel you, feel you, feel good
One night together
Not like I’m wanting the moon
I just want to hold you
Feel you, feel you, feel good
Some things you learn to live with somethings you do without
I already gave up way too much and that's enough now (Enough now)
If this what is call surviving I’m breathing in and out
I feel alive when I know you’re around
Just wanna night together
Something to get me through
I just want to hold you
Feel you feel you feel good
One night together
Something to get me through
I just want to hold you
Feel you feel you feel good
Just wanna night together
All alone with you
I just want to hold you
Feel you feel you feel good
One night together
Something to look forward to
I just want to hold you
Feel you feel you feel good
One night together yeah
Can we do that soon? Ooh
I just want to hold you
Feel you feel you feel good
One night together
Oh yeah real soon ooh
I want to hold you
Feel you feel you feel good

I’m doin all I can
To get through the day to find a way to gain peace of mind
I’m lookin for distraction
Oh I’ll phone a friend and I’ll pretend I’m
Fine fine fine
Won’t be getting teary
Walkin straight, talkin’ clearly I’m
gonna take things in my stride
I have to walk right of here
To start again shake off my fear
Hard to believe
It’s you that I see
So I'm begging you please
Just pretend you don’t see me
And I don’t see you
Just pretend you don’t see me
And I don’t see you
Its getting late now
No one to share a drink,
only time to think about being on my own
Brush my teeth now
they’re squeaky clean
Oh got to wear, I gotta wear that smile
Staring out at the street lights
clock saying it’s midnight
I’m tired of being alone with me
Think it’s time that I confess
Without you I’m just a mess
I can’t take this in my stride
Falling apart with every step
My hearts beating outside my chest
You know that it’s true, I’m not over you so what can we
do?
Please pretend you don’t see me
I can't bear to see you
Please pretend you don’t see me
And I wont see you
I’m staring out at the street lights
clock saying it’s midnight
Lord I need to find reprieve
I’m tired being lonely
And I’m sad and I’m hung up
on you I’m caught
I wish my tears had
somewhere to hide

You’d think by now things would be different
Time after time more of the same
Try to make me small but you won’t ever win baby that’s your sin
Made it on my own you thought that I would fail but baby here I am
I don’t have the time for these childish games (I didn’t come to play)
Now I’m standing strong it’s my time to slay
I can’t wait
I won’t spend another day
Living silently a smaller type of me
Move your pride out of my way
Listen now when I say
You don’t have that power over me
I got it down
I got it
I worked it out
I’m on it
Tonight I will be my own hero
I will trust in what I have learned coz now I know
Thought you could bring me down but here
I am again
Stand up on my own
You can’t knock me down
Imma stand my ground

I’m leaving behind all my pain and worry
I’m not gonna let my fear and doubts take over me
I know that I will never grow as long as I stand in the shadow
I know that I will never sail if I don’t make it past the shallow
Show myself grace
be better than yesterday
I see I believe it
Letting out my light
No darkness no doubt
I’m gonna, I’m gonna let it all out
I’m learning to love all the things about me
And sometimes it’s hard to let myself be happy
Now I know that I am worth so much more than I imagined
And I’m never lookin back, I’m gonna make it happen
Give myself space to move on from yesterday
I see I believe it
Letting out my light (I’m letting it out)
No darkness no doubt
I’m gonna let it out
Let it all out (let it out, let it out)
I see I believe it
Letting out my light (I’m letting it out)
No darkness no doubt
I’m gonna let it out
Let it all out
Feel fine with my clear mind it it’s the real me in this
new time
